A little while ago, Koji Igarashi’s team released a preview of the shaders being used in his new game Bloodstained. The fans went ballistic, and a number of fans between those (including myself) wondered what would the game look like in pure 2D, instead of the 2.5D Igarashi is going for.

 
I took up the mantle to redesign the screenshot released by his team into a 2D pixel art format. Y’know, just like the classic formula that made Castlevania so popular. I took some liberties with the mockup, of course, since many things that work on a 3D render can’t be properly translated to 2D without something going awry.
 
What do you think?

It looks fine. It seems like there was an attempt to go for the Symphony of the Night look but it didn't quite reach it.

@a3um I saw it too! Looks like a guy with his head lowered and his hands in his pockets.

@Emperor_Pixel This is a fantastic piece btw. You really hit the character shading on the mark. !'m kind of disappointed on the whole 2.5d feel of the new design, but I'm still excited to see how it turns out in the end.

Wow, thank you dudes :)

I did post this over the oficial Bloodstained forums, but I'm not sure if the big shots will get to see it,

Nice pixels and certainly looks better than the garbage shown in the screenshot you've linked to. I wish people would stop and appreciate the craft and what it can do for a 2D game (i.e; making it timeless) rather than going for the time-saving, corner cutting approach of 3D.
